  • Compared to its industry, the company has higher gross profit of $2.92 Billion, which indicates 1.69x above the industry average, indicating stronger profitability and higher earnings from its core operations.

  • The company is witnessing a substantial decline in revenue growth, with a rate of 0.58% compared to the industry average of 13.34%, which indicates a challenging sales environment.
